When Failure Comes We Don’t Quit!
Let me give you a few short examples of those who did not quit.
Here is the biography of a failure… A man who had less than three years of formal education failed in business in ’31, was defeated for legislature in ’32, again failed in business in ’33, was elected to the legislature in ’34, defeated for speaker of the house in ’38, defeated for elector in ’40, defeated for Congress in ’43, elected to Congress in ’46 to be defeated again in ’48, defeated for Senate in ’55, defeated for Vice President nomination in ’56, defeated for Senate again in ‘ 58. Who was this person? Well he became our 16th President in 186o his name was Abraham Lincoln. He said his biography was not only one of failure but also one of a person that never quit. A teenager had decided to quit high school, saying he was just fed up with it all. His father was trying to convince him to stay with it. “Son,” he said, “you just can’t quit. All the people who are remembered in history didn’t quit. Abe Lincoln, he didn’t quit. Thomas Edison, he didn’t quit. Douglas MacArthur, he didn’t quit. Elmo McCringle…” “Who?” the son burst in. “Who is Elmo McCringle?” “See,” the father replied, “you don’t remember him. He quit!
“From the Jews five times I received fortystripesminus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;injourneys often,inperils of waters,inperils of robbers,inperils ofmy owncountrymen,inperils of the Gentiles,inperils in the city,inperils in the wilderness,inperils in the sea,inperils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness, besides the other things, what comes upon me daily “ (2 Corinthians 11:24-28). This was Paul, now imagine if he would have quit. You would think that nobody would blame him with all he had to deal with, but that was not going to happen. Notice how Paul saw things form an earthy perspective. “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outwardmanis perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceedingandeternal weight of glory,while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seenaretemporary, but the things whicharenot seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18). Brethren, no matter what gets in our way when it comes to our Christian lives, let us never quit. Ernie
